Too bad you're on the other side of the pond from me: I have a bunch of those old AT

Same here. Just got offered half a dozen on Freecycle last month, too. :?(
Jos: for my money, MS-DOS 3.3 was the classic version for the original
PC. With <=640K of RAM, no full-function version of DOS offers as much
functionality in as little conventional RAM. All the later versions
are bigger but normally hide bits of themselves in the HMA or UMBs to
maximise free base memory, which is no help if you only have base
memory and nothing else.
DR-DOS 3.4 might be worth a look if you can find it, but it's obscure.
